NEW MILFORD, Conn. -- A Methodist minister has lofty goals for a mission to raise opposition to the war in Iraq.

The Rev. Wayne Lavender, pastor of the New Milford United Methodist Church, plans to launch a four-month peace mission on Jan. 1 that he hopes will include visiting Iraq and meeting President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who are both fellow Methodists.

1. I'm not in charge, but I see no problem with this being here.

I'll take it as a request. :)

2. Thank you. I figured any way we could help the guy, we ought to do it.

Peace sure would be nice. sigh.

3. Peace is up to each one of us, of course.

I wonder if we'll ever manage to create a world where we aren't killing each other. But it's a struggle even to generate peace within oneself. Damn reptilian brains. :)

Still, we must work at it, even if it's a hopeless cause, or we will lose our humanity entirely.
